Daily Beast columnist Mansfield Frazier has turned the concept of “justice” upside down, arguing that George Zimmerman should be convicted in the shooting of Trayvon Martin merely to avoid race riots.

The case was already heavily politicized even before prosecutor Angela Corey filed a charge of second-degree murder against Zimmerman based upon an extremely thin affidavit. The charge was a shock to most legal experts because of the incredibly high burden of proof for a murder charge that none of the known evidence comes close to supporting.

It was in this toxic political environment that Frazier filed a remarkable op-ed titled “Trial of George Zimmerman Could Trigger Another Rodney King.” The article isn’t incisive in its dissection of the facts of the case. It doesn’t offer cogent analysis of the legal strategies that the prosecution and defense might try to use if the case proceeds to trial. It doesn’t caution fellow journalists to be careful about jumping to conclusions surrounding the case, a low-hanging fruit for any columnist with a hint of competence.

Instead Frazier offers the extraordinary advice that despite a critically — perhaps criminally — flawed prosecution, George Zimmerman should just cop a guilty plea anyway to assuage his violence-prone critics in the black community in an attempt to keep the violent mobs at bay:

As George Zimmerman faces murder charges for shooting Trayvon Martin, it’s worth asking if America is in danger of facing Rodney King, Part II?

That’s what I see down the tracks: If this case goes all the way to trial, it’s a train wreck waiting to happen. The time is now for strong hands to take the helm and steady the ship of state — not to mention our national racial, political and legal discourse. The paramount concern has to be to avert a large-scale racial calamity.

Were you misinformed that the role of the criminal justice system is to fairly and impartially weigh the facts and evidence of a case? Well, now you know better. Mr. Frazier has eloquently argued that racial politics, not guilt or innocence, is the true measure of “justice for Trayvon.”

But the Daily Beast columnist is just getting warmed up and won’t let facts stand in his way:

Look what’s already festering on the streets of Sanford, Florida. On the one hand we’ve got the three stooges of the New Black Panther Party running around Sanford, spouting off crazy ideas and becoming a total embarrassment to more thoughtful and reasoning blacks who simply want justice. On the other we’ve got the equally clownish neo-Nazis, goose-stepping around on their self-appointed mission to protect the white race.

The only problem with statement is that it patently isn’t true. There are no neo-Nazi patrols, and never were. The claim was based on an unsubstantiated phone call from out of state, published by another lazy journalist with shoddy editorial oversight.

“Daily Beast columnist Mansfield Frazier has turned the concept of “justice” upside down, arguing that George Zimmerman should be convicted in the shooting of Trayvon Martin merely to avoid race riots.”

Mansfield Frazier must think that blacks are mindless violent animals. Isn’t this racist? Shouldn’t the NAACP be calling for him to be fired?

What you are seeing is the liberal expression of racism: condescension. The liberal racist might not use a racial slur, but, well, you can see it expressed here in this article, in quota systems, lower academic standards, etc. Just because they don’t use the N-word, doesn’t mean racism and bigotry aren’t rife amongst liberals.

We meet again…
Axelrod has the entire venture pre-programmed.
When race baiting is on the wain or not hot enough a topic, try class warfare. When that doesn’t work go back to the polls and declare pubbies are all bad and it was all GW’s fault. He drove the bus into the ditch and zero has had his bus driver cap on ever since trying to put a few 2X4′s under neath the rear wheels but the wascially wepublickans won’t help with the jack.
For me making Zimmerman a white Hispanic was just the icing on the race war cake. If that works we are all in trouble and will all become racists of some sort or other.
What will be laughable is if axel succeeds in isolating Catholics-those evil contraception hating peoploe, Jews–who just won’t get along with peace loving hamas, Whites—guilty of all wrong doing and Hispancis–who are now graded by color,legal or not, all in the name of protecting blacks from more “racism”.
Just too good.
As I always say, I love it when they self-destruct.

Affirmative Action, decisions based on fear of riots, Margaret Sanger abortion clinics in black hoods? The lefties are the most racist twits on earth but they play like their ‘hey, stupid, negro’ b.s. is actually not racist. lol

Well, remember that after only one day without food after Katrina, blacks turned to rape, murder and cannibalism in the Superdome? Oh, wait, those were other false stories widely spread by the media without checking.

Perhaps if the media just reported news rather than wild claims and reported the races involved in crimes in all or no cases, we would be a less divided country.

We dont have all the facts and I dont believe Zimmerman purposely killed anyway. I think it was Travon who ASSAULTED Zimmerman and thats why he had blood on his forehead. But of course some of the black leaders, who have used their people for their own personal gain, like to play the race card, and call Zimmerman a white hispanic. There is NO such thing as a white hispanic and if their were I suppose we could call Obama a white Black since hes 50% white. People need to quit using demeaning remarks such as white this or that, or crackers, or blackies or anything else. We are all Americans and most of us sre Christians and we need to behave like it. Lets dont behave as savages in third world countries do. America is exceptional and always has been. WE just have some leaders, who ARENT exceptional OR PROBABLY even true Americans! Dont sell yourself short by insulting other people with salacious remarks, act your age!

Oh, since you know that Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman, maybe you also know why. So WHY did Trayvon attack Zimmerman? Please do tell. Maybe it was because Trayvon was STANDING HIS GROUND and defending himself against a STALKER WITH A GUN who was following him down an empty street??? Hmm??? The alternative explanation – that Trayvon was not provoked but just lost his mind and attacked some random passerby for no reason – is not believable at all.

Fairy?, you really shouldn’t have gone there. You spout gibberish that no sane, reasonable observer could believe, In your racist take on the affair you have just said that Martin was an out-of-control savage who was little more than a wild animal. Either that or in your twisted imagination, returning to one’s vehicle is stalking and cornering. You are a disgusting racist.

‘totally agree with you.
ALSO..win or lose…there will be riots..they needs new shoes, and tvs, dontcha know..the actual facts don’t matter to these people.
AND when i see sharpton i automatically think “TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA”. THE BOY needs money and this is gonna be a money maker to buy more hair grease.

George, the “whitehispanic’ doesn’t have chance of a fair trial.

How about commenting on the BLACK WOMAN THAT KILLED THE WHITE WOMAN IN TEXAS AND STOLE HER BABY???…killed her for no life threatening reason..she wasn’t in fear, she just “wanted” what the white woman had, as usual..and the story has virtually been dropped..
black people are being used as shills at this point. Shills to further the agenda of the left, obama administration, losers.
can y’all say…lacrosse?…
or Crystal Magnum?? okay, as said it doesn’t matter George doesn’t have a chance at a fair trial, the jury will be intimidated, afraid of being killed, you name it..this is a break down in our country.
Perhaps a good time for a little martial law is just around the corner, and “someone’ is stirrin that ole pot…

Frazier abuses the word “justice” the same way Barokeydoke abuses the word “fairness”…like Humpty Dumpty, when they use a word,it means what they choose it to mean…no more and no less….Frazier is trying to peddle what is known in the parlance as a “wolf ticket”…he had better hope for his own sake that nobody buys it.

Could it have been that Ramos and Compean were locked up and then mistreated to send a message to their fellow border control agents to stay out of the way of the drug operations. Why did the legal system there permit that?

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in a long time. Clearly, Trey, you don’t read the news much. Here’s some friendly advice: word on the street or on BSNBC isn’t news.

Ramos and Compean were “convicted” by the testimony of a convicted felon who was also an illegal alien AND a drug runner (OSVALDO ALDRETE-DAVILA)who lied in his testimony to the court. Subsequent to the Ramos/Compean trial, Aldrete-Davila was sent to prison on an additional drug smuggling arrest. Furthermore, Johnny Sutton, the shameful US Attorney who prosecuted the border agents, was subject to disbarment proceedings for his abuse of office (but was not disbarred).

Think about Mukden, Gulf of Tonkin, the Sudentenland – whatever incident fills the bill. They are situations where a perception was exploited, whether you agree the original perception was justified, to expand a different agenda, usually exaggerating some danger or injustice. That higher agenda didn’t really care whether truth was served or not, or whether myths were employed as long as certain ends were achieved.

The above is the way I see the Trayvon Martin case. The black community and the political Left have taken a killing and made it into something far above what it may or not have been, and in their eyes, the case is closed. All these calls for ‘we just want an arrest’ seem phoney – what they in fact want is a conviction. Just wait and see what happens when Zimmerman walks and you’ll learn the truth of it.

In order to serve the racial obsession of the Left and urban myths about white Americans past and present, Zimmerman was magically transformed into a white man. Further, and despite massive statistical evidence that presents a completely opposite picture, the Left used the Martin case to say ‘See, we told you so – white people are murdering blacks in this country every day – hunting them even.’ One thing becomes the entirety of the United States of America because it is not seen as an anecdote, but confirmation of a massive trend.

Well, it is a lie. A lie based on hate and racism. The Dem Party has been veering into dangerous territory for at least a decade now and today they have become the most radicalized they have been in my lifetime. This radicalization has gone mainstream.

Although I suspected it, I never really believed the NBA Player’s Association would release such a patently racist press release as they did about the Martin case – you can’t get more mainstream than that. Blacks who bitterly complain about injustice, like Spike Lee, a mainstream film maker, who usually confines his whining to attacking Clint Eastwood because he didn’t depict heroic blacks at Iwo Jima, or that we should all do a Zimmerman on Cleopatra and turn a Macedonian Greek into a black sub-Saharan African, went off the rails and tried to release Zimmerman’s address – violence was certainly implied.

The real core of this situation is the urban myths black American’s hold about white people in America and the history of America, and the extent to which the liberal Left has bought into them, as if it’s still 200 years ago, slave ships still plying the waters of the Atlantic, or at least Jim Crow firmly in play. To invoke this, the Left has had to replace the now gone institutions of racism with ‘code,’ ‘dog-whistles,’ bizarre and inescapable theories like ‘white privilege,’ ‘the New Jim Crow,’ and Critical Race Theory.

Almost unbelievable racists are institutionalized in our mainstream colleges and universities: Dr. Boyce Watkins at Syracuse, Michael Eric Dyson at Georgetown, Melissa Harris-Perry at Tulane, Cornel West at Princeton and the vile James Cone at Union Theological Seminary. On top of this, you have similarly intransigent racists like Al Sharpton at MSNBC, Tavis Smiley at PBS, and Roland Martin at CNN. I have followed the writings of these people: there is not a single doubt in my mind they share the same intellectual and philosophical space as Nazis in 1930s Germany. The Dem Party is not far behind.

The Left and black Americans pillory groups like the Tea Party or GOP as racist simply because black folks don’t join them, not because they are structured around race. And every single entity that accuses the Right themselves either belongs to, or supports mainstream race-based groups too numerous to mention. Meanwhile on that conservative Right, they support not one mainstream law or organization founded on a concept of race.

Those on the side of Martin as being evidence of the endemic racism of America constantly ask others to do something they refuse to do: think of the greater good. The Duke Lacrosse case had the exact same racist sadness emerge from the black community.

In my entire life, I have never seen such a wholesale flood of hypocrisy, lies, racism and myths emerge from the Martin case as I’ve seen emerge from black Americans and the Dem Party. They have gone too far this time. What will be the result is unknown. Obama and Holder and their payback minions have already done more to radicalize blacks in a few short years than in the last 50. They have done so to a receptive audience, nodding their heads yes that America is full of white supremacists who simply went underground in 1970.

It is hard to believe I live in a country where a black Florida representative can show up to work dressed like a Bangkok hooker from a strip club and say the most vile racist things about whites. It is hard to believe that not one congressman in America has the guts to stand up and say ‘get out’ to the Black Congressional Congress. There’s more – I’ve written enough.

But I will say this: let’s no longer ask why there was not one Iraqi who had the guts to blow out Saddam Hussein’s brains, or one German close to Hitler do the same. Under far less perilous circumstances, we have become muzzled by one piece of name-calling which, considering the reality of America, is a perfect Orwellian expression of ‘doublethink’: you are a racist. Pitiful. Resolve: gone. Courage: gone. Audacity: gone. Common sense: gone. Proportion: gone. Context: gone.

Anyone who actually thinks that opposition to Barack Obama and his policies makes someone a “racist” is mentally ill and profoundly so. Anyone who makes that claim but does not actually believe it is a liar and a smearier and a verbal lyncher. In any case as the line goes, give me a million years and I could not think of anything STUPIDER than “If you oppose Barack Obama and his policies, you are a racist”. It does not get any STUPIDER and is all but a signed confession by his despicable sheeple that they can not honestly defend the man who is in clear fact a racist and fascist creep himself.

I hope your impending interview with the Secret Service goes as amicably as Ted Nugent’s did. As soon as any Leftist sees your paragraph about shooting Hitler or Hussein, they’ll decide that because President Obama’s middle name … what you REALLY meant by that was…. Oh, and you’re a raaaaacist, so SHUT UP! [Anyone who hasn't seen Klavan's classic video on the subject really should.]

While I pretty much agree with your viewpoint, there was one group of Germans who did, on July 20, 1944, try to blow-up Hitler. You can find a summary here: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/july_bomb_plot.htm There had been other attempts, but this one came closest to success.

I’m aware of that. I am also aware that others with far greater and daily access could’ve easily done the job. How about a soldier he was pinning a medal on?

Dresden was firebombed, partly, I think, on this assumption. Terror and punishment, punishment for just one man not sacrificing his own life to save millions. Punishing the Germans, and Japanese, for not taking their own leaders in hand.

This is why the Dem Party is so dangerous; we have proof positive that people will sink with a ship rather than admit they are wrong. Our Constitution has been turned into a suicide pact by the Democratic Left. Imagine the Jews organizing their own deportation from Europe to prove they were right about a certain ideological point and you get the idea – how about Jews dismantling Israel to prove they’re not racist? Crazy. The Democratic Party has declared white people, at least in terms of being a majority, persona non grata in the country they created. But everyone wants a piece of that country, especially cultures which can’t do it for themselves. Reality meets PC.

Anyone want to debate the concept that multiculturalism and diversity is just another way of saying less white people? This is the Democratic Party. They have held their own sick version of a Wannsee Conference and the bureaucracy has been set in motion. Immigration, legal and illegal, will tame the endemic racism of whites by putting them in the back seat. I call it killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Polite political correctness is one thing, where success, law and order emanates from is another. This is why Obama sued AZ and everybody knows it. Obama and the Dems and their sanctuary policies gerrymander, wrangle and lasso illegals because the Dem Party is the race party and the theory is illegals will go Dem.

If illegals were from Sweden, AZ would’ve been spared the lawsuit. In fact Holder might have sued them for being too lax.

When I was young I always wondered how the Germans could go nuts the way they did. Well, I’ve had decades to see the same act unfold in front of my very eyes. The liberal Left is demonstrably insane. Does anyone doubt which would be the far more successful country if America was split between Dems and the GOP? This is the reality, the big elephant that brings millions of people of color to RACIST America. Rhetoric is one thing, your feet another.

And no I wasn’t encouraging anyone to shoot the President. The idea was that if one member of congress doesn’t have the guts or brains to tell the Congressional Black Caucus to get out and then safely go home, how can we then criticize Iraqis for not committing suicide for the greater good of Iraq?

Racism is a sad creature. We defeated the Nazis, ended slavery and then Jim Crow, marginalized the KKK and neo-Nazis into their own sad swamps and now we’re taking it on the chin as if we never did so either in terms of credit for it, or enjoying the reality of a brighter future. Obama’s ‘post-racial’ society evidently meant white folks admitting their native racism and promising to not do it any more. I hate getting dragged into these conversations about race; I believe race endows nothing and takes nothing away. It is stupid to ask a man to stand in a ditch because of his race, but it is similarly stupid to build statues for that reason.

Now that I have been dragged into this race debate, and make no mistake, the Left has dragged every white American into this in the Martin case, I’m fighting. Not for white people, but for the idea there’s no such thing. I might argue in Spanish if I had to, but that don’t mean I’m moving to Spain. I’m addressing these morons with their own language and they won’t like it. But I still think in English.

But because they may be some kind if crazy is not a good excuse (if you need one) to be crazy too. You choose (or can’t help it) to amp up the rhetoric and examples a couple notches beyond where they need to be, in my opinion, and it is why you are not providing a credible alternative at the moment. Many PJMers will chant, “right on bro,” but what we in the center want here is a reasonable exit strategy. The Daily Beast does not provide one; “to be released within this decade” is too long a time. How about leaving the whole political assassination thing out of it as well? Some kind of manslaughter may be a reasonable, and fair, middle ground.

At any rate,with Rodney King, we all saw the beating on tape. None of us saw what happened with George and Trayvan.

Don’t be shocked if Obama comes up with a “why can’t we all just get along” speech. I may not vote for him next time, but I do happen to think that he does have that speech within him…maybe even before the election.

“Some kind of manslaughter may be a reasonable, and fair, middle ground.”

How about a wait-&-see approach, hang onto your prejudiced judgements until all the evidence is laid out in a court of law? Is that so hard? Are we such putty in the hands of our too-powerful, too-in-the-pockets of whomever is the flavor-of-the-you-fill-in-the-blank deep-pocketed special-interest-of-the-day? God help us if we have completely lost the capacity to think for ourselves. No one knows what all happened that night was Z & the now-dead Martin. Period. We don’t know what the hell is “reasonable” until a trial (hopefully a fair one but I doubt that) is carried out. Meantime sit down & STFU about it.

Indeed there’s no middle ground here, but only two alternatives of which only one can be true:

1. Zimmerman believed – wrongly or rightly, but with good reasons to conclude so – that his life was under imminent threat, in which case it’s a clear cut case of self defense and a manslaughter conviction is clearly unjust.

2. Zimmerman didn’t really think there was a threat to his life, but killed Martin anyway – that’s murder, so conviction of manslaughter is clearly unjust in this case too.

So a conviction for manslaughter is guaranteed injustice, whatever happened that night.

The only way to determine which alternative version is likeliest the truth is to fully examine all the evidence.

I am providing a credible alternative. When not being attacked by racist morons, I live my life in peace. I don’t know if Zimmerman is guilty. I don’t parse crime by skin unless someone starts saying I’m an informal member of a hunter-killer team of white folks out to discomfit blacks. Let’s notice a difference here between attack and defense. Were Americans Nazis when they were forced, FORCED, to engage in a dialogue about Nazism in the 1930s? Sure, the bigots like Sharpton and Dyson say they are being forced too, but I am not a child dazzled by a notion of two sides to a story.

I can look at history, I can apply context, proportion, look at stats, use judgement, instincts, tools of self-criticism. I am not part of some racial team called white people. I don’t wonder what’s happening to white people somewhere in the world today, or want to start a website about white poetry and science-fiction, white historians, and that tells how may white people won awards this week.

Here’s context: despite all the hand-wringing about what a racist I am by the black political Left, there is not one mainstream website about white culture in America today, not one. I could list dozens of black ones, but let’s concentrate on one that’s typical, The Root. Run by Henry (Beer Summit) Gates, Jr., a man with access to the President, owned by the Washington Post

The Root is a non-stop compendium of attacks on white people combined with racial self-obsession and advocacy. It is hate speech. Almost every article’s childish basic premise is that white people are bad and black people good. This is not Stormfront, but a site that is mainstream, with mainstream ads and the participation of black celebrities. It is a site where you will rarely find proportion, context and truth. It is a site where, if you exchanged the words black and white, would result in Derbyshire-like firings everyday. But blacks have some special dispensation to utter Nazi-like drivel and get away with it. I dare you to read The Root for one week and see if you can stomach it. Don’t forget the dismal comments section.

Now, look at a calendar on your wall, the one that says 2012. Then multiply The Root by dozens of other similar sites, TheGrio owned by NBC/Universal for one. Then add in the Assoc. of black fruit market vendors, police chiefs, mayors, law enforcement officials, journalists and add 1000 or more, maybe many more to that list. Then realize there is not a single white equivalent, not one – it is not allowed. Nor, I’m happy to say, should it be. It is a contextual argument that flies in the face of the lies being told about the Martin case. It is why nutty theories like ‘white privilege are needed; the one that says the less interested in parsing out the world by race, the more I am blithely unaware of my own racism.

Smug morons like Dyson, Sharpton, Bell and Perry see themselves as incredibly perceptive people, able to peer through the cracks of perception and see the REAL deal. In fact they are third rate intellects who contradict themselves everyday. A child could tear apart their stupid and hypocritical arguments. They could not do so to mine.

@Pnina: Manslaughter (involuntary) is possible under the circumstances of evidence produced that prove somehow that there was a struggle between Martin & Zimmerman for control of Z’s gun, culminating in the case of the gun going off while pointed at M’s chest. This is but one among any number of scenarios we can come up with as “Monday morning quarterbacks.” It’s not hard to see why it’s so important to wait for all the evidence to be revealed before judgements on this case are made. It’s amazing how powerful a force the media has become in its capacity to influence public opinion. We all need to be acutely aware of it & strive to avoid falling into the proverbial trap…….

That is absolutely not true, if justice is to be served. One might think that one’s life was endangered under all sorts of experiences, but the act of thinking/feeling so does not automatically make it so, if a jury decides that another response would have been more appropriate, especially when a death results. That having been said, back when we began discussing the matter some of the more astute people here acknowledged that that there were aspects of the stand-your-ground law that were simply too open-ended to be appropriate and some of those concerns involved the kind of wording, which gave one the absolute right to fire away under virtually any level of fear. It has to be that “a reasonable person might conclude that their life was in danger.
Obviously, we don’t know what happened, but it does not have to be either guilty of murder or not guilty of anything.

Dwight – You’re not up to date on the issue. Stand-your-ground is not relevant for Zimmerman. It might be relevant for Martin had Zimmerman continued to pursue him, but he didnt. Based on Zimmerman’s lacerations and bloody head and the fact that he did not know where Martin was after he stopped pursuing him, it would seem Martin came back and attacked Zimmerman. If Zimmerman felt he was going to die, his use of his gun to fend off the attack is totally justified, and it is case of self-defense. (Zimmerman was not standing his ground, he was lying on it.) To make Zimmerman the aggressor, you would have to conjure a situtation where after he had lost of Martin, he caught sight of him once more and started chasing him again. I think, though, that, that scenario can be refuted.

My father walked into Berlin holding a rifle, literally, at the end of WWII. Yet, I’ve been accused of being a Hitler and a Nazi on countless occasions by people who do not know me, on account of my race and sex. I’ve been the instant-enemy of many ethnic and non-white individuals I’ve met in my life, abused and ripped-off at the first chance, because I look obviously Nordic and they made it quite clear. It’s worse now than ever.

The chief victims of racism in this country have white skin and empty pockets. You can never expect someone of another race to admit that, or even see it through the shade of their own glasses, but it is true and there is no point in asking the people who want to feast on your bones to recognize it. I’m through being a tolerant white dope, negotiating my own demise with inferiors on one side and elitists on the other.

“When I was young I always wondered how the Germans could go nuts the way they did” Remember the appeal was from the left, it was Socialist. The Jews were painted as 1%’ers, it was the appeal to the working class, “fairness” etc. Hitler got the corporations working for the government (Fascism doesn’t seize business, it controls them.

You have summed it up very well and made some points not easily visible from the original article. One thing your piece made me think of is how the “Moderate” Black is starting to mimic the “Moderate” Muslim. By that I mean that the radical Blacks are saying and doing things that the larger Black community are not disavowing or condemning and in many cases nodding their collective heads in silent approval. The chance of a moderate’s uprising in the Black community is about as slim as an uprising in the moderate Muslim community. Obama unfortunately has contributed to this attitude in both communities. By his inaction against their leaders and their violet methods he has encouraged them to go even farther then they thought possible. Except for a handful of Blacks that are in the public arena, people like Allen West, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and a handful of bloggers like Lloyd Marcus there seems to be no sense of outrage at the overt threats by the New Black Panther party and race hustlers like Sharpton and Jackson. Attny. Gen. Holder may as well wear their stupid beret because his inaction shows where his heart lies. I pray that this Nov. this country will be headed towards a cooler time and that this sense of entitlement that some of the minorities have acquired under Obama will subside.

“moderate’s uprising,” seems to be a statement at odds with itself. Politically, uprisings are radical events. The closest moderates get to an “uprising,” is a TEA Party event, where crowd barriers are for show and are respected. Where the police are treated affably. Where the area is cleaner when they leave than when they arrived.

Your taste in music is suspect (G-N-R thread… [haha]) but your analysis here is spot-on. It’s funny how the Right who, for the most part, try not to think about race is labeled ‘racist’ because they don’t acknowledge race which is– and correct me if I’m wrong– the stated goal of the diversity movement. The diversity movement is a perpetual motion machine whose purpose is to not move. And when someone points that out, the diversity crowd will tell them how little they understand mechanics and physics.

Trying, in the end, was not doing. It required a thing be done, not tried. And it could’ve been done. Having said that, I thought I once read somewhere that the greatest number of executions of an underground were in Germany itself.

thank you for your wonderful essay, m. burton. apparently, the white middle class and the white jewish middle class who believe mr. obama to be both treacherous and treasonous, are the disappeared.
soon, we will be searching for each other in the stadium, herded there by low IQ brain damaged blacks (thanks to alcoholic/druggie pregnancies in the hood).

all they demand is that merit and competition is eliminated from their new black
society, since they can’t pass any “white” testing. accordingly, the left supports this notion of abysmal black stupidity and inability to read with understanding (unless its twitter, i suppose). as leftists, i guess they don’t want to “act white” either.

in any case, george zimmerman will walk because zimmerman is the victim of unlawful and heinous acts of incitement to riot by black mobs. personally, i don’t care if they riot. my, how tribal of them.

more to the point, another black unlawful riot will thankfully be the last white vote obama and his creepy sidekick holder ever gets, should that come to pass.

Mansfield Frazier is a crazy old man and this stuff does nothing to change anybody’s mind about that. I’m sure he thinks he’s being clever by ever-so-calmly issuing threats based on the rush-to-judgment that Zimmerman is guilty. Just think what Frazier’s premise would be if Zimmerman or a non-Hispanic was the victim of Trayvon Martin. Do you think that we’d be hearing shrill complaints of “rush to judgment” and “stop blaming black people” etc. etc. Of course we would. In that scenario the “racists” would be the ones making demands very similar to the ones that Frazier is making here. If Trayvon Martin was the defendant and white people, including TV personalities and columnists, were already talking as if there was no doubt Martin was guilty to the point that he shouldn’t even have his day in court I’m sure Frazier and the rest of the race-hustlers would be the first to howl. As it is, he’s already telling outright lies about goose-stepping neo-Nazis or whatever. What if a white paramilitary fringe group issued a dead-or-alive bounty on Trayvon Martin’s head? That, too, would be used as an excuse for blacks to launch race riots. It begins to feel as if some riots are inevitable because oldtime radicals like Frazier want it that way. The circumstances surrounding Trayvon Martin’s death are simply a convenient excuse to proceed.

Zimmerman should be sort of a sacrificial lamb, eh?? To satisfy the mob. Interesting idea. Funny thing, though; the riots that followed in the wake of the Rodney King trial mainly succeeded in destroying there own communities. Maybe the race hustlers should consider that.

Why not? Why not lynch him to appease the savages amongst us? After all, we having been forced to accept a man who is NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE TO BE N THE WHITE HOUSE because he is black. Everywhere you turn, for the past fifty years, we have been beaten into accepting lies, insanity, and madness just because the Blacks must be appeased. Had enough? Bring it on. Time to lance the infection.

Didn’t pull his gun? Oh, so he is being prosecuted for 2nd degree murder because his gun accidentally went off into the other guy’s chest?

No law enforcement officer would have been in that situation in the first place, and even caught by surprise or necessity of some kind would certainly not have pulled a gun. Mace, nightstick, taser, but not a gun. Zimmerman was a fool.

no, he is not being prosecuted because his gun went off accidentally. he is being prosecuted because a fame-hungry prosecutor decided to be swayed by the Sharptons and the Holders and the race baiters.

she decided to NOT convene a grand jury, because she intuited that might not lead to an indictment. she was so seduced by the “justice for Trayvon” cr*p that she overcharged to 2nd degree, instead of a very reasonable manslaughter, and now Dershowitz and others (who know a lot more than you and I) are saying he’s going to walk.

if Zimmerman is convicted, the star witness will be the MSM, which deliberately spun this case to “prove” the shooter was racially profiling, when the facts indicate that that was not what happened.

Then why are police officers portrayed as assassins and are public enemy No.1 in rap videos? The difference between reality and perception is what the larger issues surrounding the Martin case is all about. But how perceptive are people who still, today, are conspicuously using the word WHITE Hispanic in talking about Zimmerman? The same morons who use the same reasoning to magically turn Obama into a black guy and only a black guy? The Prez does it himself. It’s like we’re all in ’80s South Africa talking about shades of skin tone like they parcel out morality and intelligence. Well, in the eyes of the Left, they do. They’re just too dumb to see their self-contradictory arguments – the ones where I’m responsible for slavery but looking sideways at a hoodie is immoral profiling. The responsibility by skin mysteriously comes and goes in the foul arguments about race posited by the Left.

hey everyone, this above is what some like to call “the next robbery victim”
you see by his words that he will allow you to literally kill him if you desire and he will do nothing to stop you.
I do hope he’s well heeled and carries a lot of cash as thats just the icing on the dumbass cake.

I hope the entire rest of the society defends themselves with all means needed….

If I and others FEAR for our lives, we will not be pulled from our homes, businesses and cars without a fight.

So to all the “trayvon” supporters just itching to meld out some street justice on the chubby white hyphenated Americans?

Be warned, what Obama said, “you dont bring a knife to a gun fight” and trust me, there are millions of us that understand and embraced the idea of SELF defense.

For clarity, I do not advocate violence in any form EXCEPT the legal, Lawful use of self defense. I am sorry if this LEGAL and moral pov will hinder rioting, looting, raping hoards of locusts that are taking the shape of “humans” that will seek to burn down our homes…

I don’[t know about that. People talk tough but I haven’t seen any action to back it up so far. Look at all the flash mobs. I though then (and so did many others) and I think now that it was a test run to test whitey’s reactions to black thugs invading them. In each case nothing happened.

We’ve become soft. Shoot, back during the Rodney King mess people were laughing because black people destroyed their own businesses and neighborhoods. So one day they decided to go destroy whitey’s neighborhood. So a bunch of black thugs went to neighborhoods in the district that the jury pool that freed the cops lived. They were met by white middle aged men with guns who used raod blaock to halt the black men. The black men turned around and went home.
There is a lesson there…….

Man this is just wrong. I can see things that should have been done different and I can see both sides to this story. my son was murdered so i know what the family is going thru. I can understand what Zimmerman was doing, He saw someone he thought was going to rob someone and was trying to do a good job as a neighborhood watch. I also understand what Trayvon was going thru, He knew someone was following him. His girl friend told him to run, so that means he knew someone was following him and was afraid. What I don’t know is if Z ask him what he was doing out, or if he lived there. I don’t know what T said to him,if he ask those questions. When someone if scared they go into either the fight or flight mode. You run or you defend your self.If this had been a police officer I wonder what would have happened? would it have been sweep under the rug or would it have been made thsi public. I am in Arkansas and last week the police were called to a home were a man had went metal,they said he might have gotten off his meds. He was walking around hollering and when the police got there he started hitting the police car with a peice of metal. Not the officer but the police car.The officer shot him. was the officer in danger? He was inside the car and could have moved it, he could have called for back up, I don’t know weather he did or not. All I know is that he shot and killed this man because he was beating up the back of his car.what if this man had lost his job and without insurance could not longer afford his meds?
If Z if found not guilty and there is Riot what will happen then? Many more lifes lost. If they come to my house starting trouble I can assure you that I have something that I can protect my self and my family with. If I have to then am I going to stand trial? I mean they are only trying to make some kind of statment about how THEY were wronged and then shot and maybe even killed in the process of this…Alot to think about.

What you said, regards the man who was shot by the policeman who could easily have moved his car, is, in my view, a far greater travesty of justice even, than the perception of injustice we have (thus far) of Z killing the young man. Why? Because we trust the police to protect us. Sounds like the cop took the shortest and easiest route to a “solution.” How many other cases go on like this all over America (not necessarily with police)where injustices are done of a fatal nature?
Who decides what is to be “played up” in the news and what is to be ignored?Anyone have any thoughts on that? Sometimes, (I’ve observed over decades) the biggest stories get barely a mention. Had it been the case that your story had hit the press, would it be the public consensus that “all cops are brutal and callous”? Would there be large groups protesting against the police brutality? The truth is, there are bad cops and there are good cops.I thank God that there is a higher justice than any we have in this world. Everyone of us will give account to the Judge. None of us gets away with anything. But “mercy rejoices over judgment” and our Judge clothed Himself in flesh and bore our punishment (coz we are all sinners in HIS sight), shed sinless Blood for our sins on a cruel Roman cross, as atonement-and invites all of us to come to Him and be washed clean in His sight from all our sins-pride, lust, envy etc etc., in His Blood. If we don’t we willl surely be pronounced “guilty” at His Judgment Bar. Yes, I’m using this opportunity to “preach”-didn’t intend to, but here it is.

it’s really time for this nonsense to stop. Give Zimmerman a fair trail and frankly screw it if they riot. Enough people are armed that it will go badly for the rioters. The rule of Law, and not the Mob must always come first

I agree about the riots. The law must be followed, the evidence must be heeded. If blacks riot for their emancipation from any laws they don’t like, those riots will destroy their own neighborhoods. I would advise not attacking again Korea Town in L.A. Those Koreans have not surrendered their guns and will use them, as before, for defense of life and property. As will most Americans in the non-coastal areas. The high gun control areas will however be at the mercy of the mob.

The large majority of blacks in the so-called “black community” in America are an embarrassment to adults. I hate to speak generally, because all the black people I know are typically outstanding citizens (I’m in the military), but whatever this is that is represented in public media, entertainment, and whatever forum, charicature or not, it is all become a joke. A sad one.

We have this kid Trayvon, who on the onset of this case when the media were taking full advantage did appear to NOT be the stereotypical black person, and I believe most people, myself included, really thought a murder was apparent. We sympathized with that photo of the 12 year old, but then the truth came out little by little. The kid had indeed fallen prey to the charicature that is the black community, at least in part, or fledgling: Thugs, with gold on their teeth (what the hell is that about – it looks dirty), obsessed with material possessions, uneducated, talking without being understood, wearing brand new clothes yet somehow still appearing poor, stupid look-at-me cars, stare you down for no reason, treating women like dogs, and ever listening to rap (which glorifies the whole trademark cartoon). Sympathy evaporated.

None of this makes a person guilty of anything criminal, but it is hard to deal with a person seriously when it appears they have chosen a no-brains approach to life, severely lack decency, take pride in isolating themselves from society, and/or can’t help from mocking themselves. On top of it all we are supposed to be afraid??? that they are going to riot if their ill-formed, unreflected perceptions are not given legitimacy, AND THAT in the face of the American justice system. This has to be a joke.

I think you’re making generalization that aren’t warranted and that you should retract your statement. There is nothing wrong or evil about blacks protesting the killing of a young black man in their area when the perpetrator appears to be getting away with it. That doesn’t make Zimmerman guilty of anything of course, and I suspect that he’ll easily beat a murder 2 charge if he and his counsel have the stones to see it through.

What is wrong is the use or threat of use of force in the form of rioting or worse. The vast majority of blacks are not rioting or threatening to riot that I’m aware of. I live a few miles away from Sanford. My stepdaughter and her boyfriend live in Sanford. I go there about once a week. I’ve yet to see a single riot or even a protest, though a did see a sign on a car that said “Justice for Trayvon” near the Seminole Towncenter Mall last weekend.

Don’t let news coverage of a few well-televised events lead you to bad conclusions. Most blacks have as little interest in anarchy and violence as most whites, or white hispanics, whatever that means. Please give them the benefit of the doubt. Characterizing all of them by the worst among them would be equivalent to characterizing all whites by the actions of the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

OWS don’t have their own TV shows, white racial organizations receiving millions of dollars, or teach at major universities. They are not an institution.

How many black folks turned out to protest the killing of two English tourists down in Florida? Look at the Martin case: you see black folks lined up completely on one side and whites split. That tells you all you need to know about who protects justice and concepts like the greater good and who are race-obsessed race advocates while those same race-obsessed people say it’s completely the other way around. These numbers don’t lie and neither does reality, which I dote on.

FB – You forgot the white guy in Baltimore who was set upon by a gang of black guys, who then beat him up and left him in his underpants. The police chief had the chutzpah to say it wasn’t a hate crime.

Indeed. Or if we look past the very short term and accept his call for dispensing with the Rule of Law, achieving social calm would be much easier if were merely rid ourselves of turbulent Leftists like himself.

It’s a good thing that the vast majority of the nation’s gun owners believe in the Rule of Law; we wouldn’t want anything to change that, would we?

George Zimmerman is most likely guilty of manslaugher. The prosecutor herself is guilty of lying under oath in the “thin affidavit”. If the mobs intend to riot over this so be it. When else will they elect to riot? Perhaps when their incompetent leader Obama and his thugs are thrown out of office? If we stand for justice, then we may as well get on with it. These people and their enablers in the MSM are wrong. Now we will need to pay a price for their mendacity. The American people are tired of watching a justice department that supports this kind of crap and a president who is so politicized by these pressures. If they want to riot and most likely destroy themselves in the process that is their choice but we the people should not back down!!

George Zimmerman is guilty of self-defense. He was on the ground with his head being slammed into the sidewalk. He had reasonable fear for his life. He had a gun, and used it. What was he supposed to do, wait for Martin to pound him into unconsciousness and hope he went away?

Sacrifice justice to appease violent, barbaric masses? Really? This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my life. They want to riot if Z is cut loose (based on the rule of law)? LET THEM. Then fight back. It’s high time we stopped with the white-guilt-trip-laden appeasement & pacification approach to these thugs. It’s high time we demanded that they grow the hell up & act like civilized people, not savages! It’s no small wonder so many of us are fettered by the “soft bigotry of LOW EXPECTATIONS! Oh, & this Frazier guy is an absolute nutcase!

datechguy: Funny you should mention the 1920′s. A lot of people justified the New Deal in similar terms, that the alternative would have been to go fully communofascist. “Give us what we want, or else”, in other words.

The Left wants a conviction no matter the facts because then they can point to it for the rest of history as proof that America is still a vile, racist country and claim that only their bad ideas can fix the non-existent problem.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mansfield Frazier wrote his best-known book “From Behind the Wall” while serving “the last of five federal prison terms for counterfeiting and fraud.”

When I found this out, I first wondered why on earth Newsweak hired him as a columnist. My second thought is that they hired him not in spite of the fact that he’s a criminal, but because of it. That, plus he’s black and his book argues that American law enforcement is racist. You know, like Henry Gates and Derrick Bell, except with felony convictions instead of college degrees.

This isn’t new. For “practical” politicians, the justice system’s primary function is the preserving of social peace, not “justice”.

During the Dreyfus case, one commentator said that it was better that one Jew rotted in prison than that the nation (France) be humiliated.

In the Duke lacrosse case, the Duke Board Chair, Robert K. Steel, explained Duke’s refusal to defend its falsely-accused students by saying, “Sometimes people have to suffer for the good of the organization”.

The concept of “Let justice prevail, though the heavens fall”, is subscribed to by very few (Judge Horton of Scotsboro, among others).

But how can politicians not think of sacrificing the innocent in order to protect their agendas and careers? How often would any of them place truth, justice, honor, etc., above their
own advancement or preservation?

Race-based rioting over a potential or actual Zimmerman acquittal will accomplish several things:

It will confirm that blacks do not yet have the maturity or judgment to be trusted with responsible positions in our society.

It will confirm that the race warlords – Sharpton, Jackson, upper level Democrats, et al – are interested only in manipulating blacks for their own gain.

And, finally, it just might, just maybe, get the issue of dysfunctional black culture out in the open to be discussed rationally so it can be dealt with, in place of the bogus “racial” crap we’ve been treated to for decades.

I read somewhere a comment that Whites are suffering from White Guilt Fatigue and that most had considered the election of Obama to be the Final Payment on that debt.

I do not think the reaction to any Racial Unrest at this juncture will be anything like the reaction to the Rodney King Riots.

This bromide also seems to be a Prelude to November, wherein we must Re-Elect Obama in order to to assuage his violence-prone supporters in the black community in an attempt to keep the violent mobs at bay.

Re: ….”This bromide also seems to be a Prelude to November, wherein we must Re-Elect Obama in order to to assuage his violence-prone supporters in the black community in an attempt to keep the violent mobs at bay.”

Hands down the best comment here. No need for more psycho babble about blacks and their problems or white guilt.

The outcome of both the trial and the reaction, and the result of the election will finally get enough of white America to take back their nation. And as blacks and white progs are prone to say, “by any means necessary.”

We cannot go forward with our nation be torn asunder by white progs pushing for marxism and blacks being used by the progs as their victim du jure. I am tired of blacks and their squealling for, (you pick the one)…justice. It has to stop.

I don’t think blacks will riot if Zimmerman is acquitted, but if they do, then let the chips fall where they may. Once again, it will be blacks hurting themselves, and if they refuse to learn from that, it’s not up to white people to teach them.

So far, the race hustlers have been appeased.
Even if Zimmerman is found guilty by some travesty, they’ll not be satisfied.
They want his head on a stick, so they can continue to promote their racism against all white people.
They want to riot. It’s their God given right and heritage.
There hasn’t been any good cathartic rioting for many years. Now’s a good time with Obama, Holder, Farrakhan, Sharpton, Jackson, Big Media, etc etc. etc, to stoke the fire, and call for “JUSTICE”.

“To my mind, the government offers Zimmerman a plea deal that has him back on the street within this decade, and he accepts it quietly. That seems like a conclusion most reasonable Americans could live with.”

To the devil with that, because it’s a devil’s bargain!

If most “reasonable” Americans can “live with” the idea of a man being sacrificed to political ends, then count me as unreasonable, and proud of it.

Condemning a man for reasons other than those of his guilt or innocence is a huge step downward for any justice system. The question was put, and answered, quite starkly in “Judgment at Nuremberg”. What the answer MUST be should be pretty damn obvious to just about anything with a central nervous system.

AH yes, the cry for justice will resound with angry people in the streets looking for clothes, shoes, tv sets, ipads, etc. Social unrest? Why bother, the cities have become shooting galleries where rival gangs shoot each other, passersby and anyone else in the way without a peep from the MSM, Jackson or Sharpton. If zimmerman is acquitted, let the unrest commence. I could not care one whit if they burn the cities to the ground and turn them into Beirut USA. Just don’t expect any help or compassion from me. I never had any guilt to begin with as i did not chose my parents but i will chose how to run my life, formulate opinion and judge based on the facts.

If O’Mara were successful in brokering such a resolution, he should be viewed as nothing less than… totally incompetent, deliberately sabotaging his client’s best interests, and subsequently jailed. Fixed if for you, Fraz.

You know, I wonder if Mr. Frazier isn’t “right” about one thing: Maybe Zimmerman’s new counsel, Mark O’Mara, really has been brought in to do just what Frazier wants to see happen.

I shudder to think that this may be what is really occurring. Didn’t Zimmerman fire his previous counsel just after getting in touch with the Special Prosecutor’s office? Maybe an arrangement was made to bring in this new counsel, because he would do the “right thing” and plead this out as Mr. Frazier suggests. (It certainly doesn’t look like Zimmerman has much fight in him, now, does it?)

I certainly hope that that is not the case, for the sake of justice. It would certainly be a betrayal of justice if this were the case. Anyone else here have this same sick feeling that this may be what is really happening, that Mr. Frazier in fact knows something that we don’t about Zimmerman’s new defense counsel?

likely george zimmerman will take a plea bargain, or even probation or community service. why not? the prosecutor overcharged as if she is brain dead and never went to law school. the affidavit is phoney and even at that doesn’t come close to the charge of 2nd degree murder.

this holder character should be impeached, called in front of congress and fired. how dare the head of the department of justice refuse to bring charges against those who interfered with the civil rights of a person not even charged. this is beyond rational decision making, the sort that holder has shown referring to blacks as “his people”, and especially his leaks to the press saying they were “considering the death penalty”.

if we don’t want this flesh eating disease to infect the entire body politic, we had better stand up. america, a nation of laws, being “advised” to ignore legal defenses, judges and plea bargains, trials and jury verdicts, for fear of black riots, applies to some other venue, not america. and, not a democracy.

Folks are ready for Rodney king part II. People were surprised by the riots in LA they thought the rioters were more civilized and were partners in racial harmony now We know different.
Another riot would be met with stand your ground, deadly force and shop keepers shooting looters on sight.
Seriously, an acquittal of George Zimmerman will give people the warning time needed to fort up and defend. If You were to see an acquittal wouldn’t you be stocked up and prepared? I thought so.
We know it will happen this time and will be ready to rock.
I personally do not expect George to survive his release on bail, disarmed by judges decree he is a sitting duck for the assassins.

Actually, the Police Chief of Los Angeles at the time was not in the least surprised.

A full 14 days before the verdict came in the Police Chief was Chastised and Sensured in the Press for having said, “We’d best be prepared for Violence if this verdict doesn’t go the way some people want.”

The immediate response was to portray him as a Racist and to have calls for his removal from the office. ‘How Dare he denegrate African American Citizens of Los Angeles in this fashion’ (approximate memory of the statement) the Mayor said of the Chief’s comments.

The LAPD was Prohibited from making any sort of preparations for any kind of violence as it would have been promoting Racial Steriotypes and express a lack of trust for the Black Community by the City of Los Angeles!

I was in Los Angeles on business when the verdicts were announced. On that day, I was in a conference room with a business partner and a half-dozen locals – employees of Hughes Aircraft (then so named, I believe). When one of the Hughes employees told us of the verdict, I said that there would be riots. I might as well have farted. I’m surprised my contract wasn’t released on the spot. The Hughes employees looked down their noses at me and one declared that it wouldn’t happen. No way. How dare I say such…

An hour later an announcement over the intercom told us to evacuate the building and head for safety. No pride in being right – merely glad that my instincts were not (and will never be) compromised by political correctness.

What a scam, the low life risks innocent lives in a high speed chase high on who know what. The repeatedly tries to get up and challenge the officers. Repeat offender, subsequently has been in and out of jail. Too bad they didn’t have tasers,none of it would have happened.

they want their pound of flesh, facts be damned. Zimmerman is white and Hispanic, is that like white and illegal… oh lets get him. a double whammy. there is no love lost here, in California, blacks were calling for Mexicans to be deported, it seems a lot of them are white Hispanics, maybe they will riot in white neighborhoods, hispanic ones not so much.

Hate and violence are the results of the policies, and of the unwise words, of this administration.
I insist, we protect the peace, we reject any use of force in politics, and we roll back the subversives on the election’s day.

Then we will have the time to investigate everything they have done.

Independent voters, think carefully about what is happening !!!!!!!!!!

Should Zimmerman be found not guilty or the case is thrown out, he needs to carry a weapon to protect himself from the likes of the New Black Panther Party who have been given immunity by Eric Holder. They know Holder won’t hold them responsible as he has proven in the past.

The media. They made this story, they have lied both by omission and commission in an attempt to convict Zimmerman, they employ race-hustlers as news readers, they help shield the people who threaten vigilante justice against Zimmerman, and invent other counter-vigilantes out of whole cloth, and they look the other way as the Obama adminstration first prejudices the case by having the President publicly assume Zimmerman to be guilty, and then declines to prosecute actual racially-motivated threats of violence.

I want something bad to happen to the organizations and people in the media that are tearing us apart for their own profit. I want them to hurt like they hurt us. I want them destroyed in any legal way possible. I want them to be humiliated and see them become the objects of the scorn that they see it as their right to inflict on others. I want vengeance.

MLK would be encouraged, in an odd way, at the progress we’ve made as a country. We’ve gone from Selma to Tawana Brawley to Crystal Mangum and finally, to a case that has no apparent racial component whatsoever.

To paraphrase Voltaire, “If Racism didn’t exist, it would be necessary for Al Sharpton to invent Him”.

I don’t know what to think any more. I’m tired of analyzing, over-thinking, worrying about blacks or Hispanics and their penchant for criminality. I’m done with it.

Have at it, punks. Keep face-booking your next flash mob thievery, keep posting your idiotic crimes for all the world to see on youtube, keep making every damned supposed ‘stereotype’ a reality rather than a fallacy.

They will never clean their own house, they have shown that every time any influential black figure (i.e. Bill Cosby) calls for responsibility from the black community, the knives come out quick. It only took them two weeks to manufacture some mistress allegation against Cosby and gave the media cover to quit discussing his comments.

What I fear is that if there is rioting, things will be different this time and there will be a lot of dead 17yr old thugs (also known as a young child according to Maxine Waters). This will give Obama and Holder cover to crack down on guns and even consider imposing martial law in some inner cities, which will disarm the legal populace and leave the door open even wider for the rioters.

How do you suppose martial law is going to disarm the American populace? Officials going door to door asking for the relinquishment of the peoples’ firearms? Good luck with that. There will indeed be a 2nd civil war before that ever happens (we “bitter clingers” giving up our guns).

I don’t believe they will seize guns, but I would expect any martial law situation would have strict rules about being armed. I would expect all carry laws to be suspended and probably indefinite detention if caught with one.

SCTA, it’s just sad and pathetic isn’t it? Any decent black man who speaks the honest truth is shot down in flames with savage cruelty by the MSM. It’s like a bad ALIEN episode of Outer Limits, where the people find out [in the end] “How to serve man” was actually a Cookbook!

bobbcat, woman friend (and thank you for having my back lately btw), there is NO way that Americans can be disarmed. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. In total agreement with you there.

Maybe I’ve been fortunate, but, the black people I’ve known and befriended over the years were GOOD folks. I’ve had black men tell me that black women were jealous of me but I never saw it in real life (frankly, I saw more Asian women jealous of me than black women).

I don’t want to see our country torn apart. I don’t want to see people die over stupid sh*t.

I say let Zimmerman walk. Just make sure we have a few ma deuces set up and plenty of ammunition. We failed to do it several times during the 60s. Time to make things right.
Rioting used to carry the death sentence, to be administered on the spot. We need to reinstate that principle.

Actually, according to long term LA area resident Jerry Pournelle, that’s exactly what stopped one LA area riot. Someone tried to run a roadblock, got hosed down with an M2 (that’s John Browning’s .50 caliber machine gun) … and the violence pretty much immediately stopped.

It is a very sad day for America when a person is being judged as guilty of murder because the color of their skin is WHITE and the color of the dead person’s skin is BLACK.

One article said that in court, Zimmerman appeared to be wearing a bullet proof vest underneath his suit. His wife and parents said they did not go to court because of concerns for their safety. It was also reported that if Zimmerman was released on bail, that it would be necessary for Zimmerman to be housed in “safe” houses. As Americans, we are ALL brothers and sisters, but there are powerful people using their influence to divide us. To DELIBERATELY create fear and hate between the races. It is despicable and evil.

What was worse was seeing him wearing chains. There was absolutely no purpose for that other than for show. Ours is really becoming a banana republic with the horrid tone set forth by the despicable Obama & his administration. May anyone who votes for O this fall be forever damned. I mean it.

UK DAILY MAIL: Two white neighborhood watch brothers who ‘beat up 15-year-old black boy’ facing 13 years in prison in new ‘Trayvon’ case.

Two brothers accused of beating a black teenager so badly they broke his wrist while patrolling an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood are set to go on trial Monday in a case with similarities to the Trayvon Martin shooting.

The brothers, who are white and Jewish, have claimed self-defense, saying the teen was holding a nail-studded board.

The two white Jewish brothers are facing 13 years in prison for breaking the black teenager’s wrist.

A few days ago, leftist ISM, terrorist supporter activists, went to Israel for the specific purpose of provoking the IDF in order to make an anti-Israel video. One of the activist’s broke an IDF officer’s fingers. The ISM made the video, which went global, showing the IDF officer striking his attacker who had broken his fingers. The video was edited so that the attack on the IDF officer was not shown. The IDF officer has been suspended from his position. The violent ISM attacker is NOT being prosecuted for breaking the IDF officer’s fingers.

When Obama loses in November; when we have a national Hell Night as blacks across America riot, burn and kill; and when they wake up the next day to see they’ve burned down their own homes, businesses and neighborhoods; they will STILL blame it all on racism and Whitey.

So Sharpton, Jizzy Jackson and all the other race pimps will get yet another shot to extort from whites and to incite blacks against the Man. The Congressional Black Caucus will press on in their insane attempt to wring “reparations” from white society.

You wanna riot and do Rodney King Part II? Okay. I get to play the Korean store owner on the roof with the rifle. There will be riots whatever the outcome. They won’t go well. Barry has massively increased the racial divide and many are done. As a previous commenter noted, this idiot was the final payment on the White Guilt Mortgage.

The LA media played and replayed the last few seconds of the video. They did not play the portions showing King repeatedly rising, and refusing to stay down.

They did not tell tell the audience that the LAPD cop directing the scene had told a CHP offier who had approached King with a drawn gun to back off, because he was worried King might be shot. Or that that same officer had once given mouth to mouth to a black/aids suspect. (don’t get me wrong–I detest a lot of cops-rude, arrogant, mere ticket issuers now days.)

The media called King a “motorist,” but ignored his refusal to stop, the suspicion that he was on PCP, and that he was an ex con.

Then the trial judge in Simi Valley blacked out the trial–so the public nevevr saw why those officers were acquitted. He was a good trial judge, and gave a fair trial. But the interest in the outcome was intense–whipped to a frenzy by pious outlets like the Los Angeles Times. The trial ought to have been televised.

When they were acquitted, people were kiled. And duh, lots of businesses did not come back to be burned out again–despite all the moaning by the Los Angeles Times about their “duty” to come back and risk their hard work, lives and savings all over again.

The media rush to judgment then was as bad as it is now. NBC is particular, is acting like a small southern town lynch mob out of the movies.

Martin’s parents are acting like normal parents and good people–so good the race baiters want them to “move aside,” so they can whip up more hate.

Its hard to blame the blacks for being furious when the emdia whips up these passions, the trial is blacked out and rumors are all anyone has. Shame on you NBC. And may the entire proceeding be televised.

this reminds me of nothing so much as the appeasing of Muslims. “please don’t burn a Koran…please don’t draw a cartoon of Mohamed…please don’t serve pork in your restaurants…please don’t do anything they might not like or they will hurt us.”

Fascinating. There are over a hundred Comments on this article already (Sunday afternoon) and a similar number of Comments on J. Christian Adams’ “Civil Unrest” article discussing the New Black Panthers. None of the other PJM articles today have even half that many Comments (at least not yet). This kind of race-based Comment traffic parallels the page view traffic being recorded on Another Slow News Day’s blog pages featuring a) different elements of the Zimmerman / Martin incident and b) other aspects of Barack Obama’s “post-racial” America.

Q: If America is, as Barack Obama promised it would be under his leadership, so post-racial now, why are race-based events (and news reports about them) receiving far and away the most media attention (and media consumption) regardless of the media source (i.e. liberal vs. conservative)?

A: Because Barack Obama and his Administration appointees have relegated race to be one of their foci rather than relegating it to the subject of history. That, of course, makes Barack Obama a liar (yet again), but that is hardly new information to people who study information carefully (i.e. liberals need not apply).

Readers interested in tracking through the actual, factual history (as opposed to the liberal fantasy) that is the Zimmerman / Martin incident are invited, once again, to examine the public record of evidence compiled on Another Slow News Day’s pages covering the event. The first of those pages…

… is titled after the incident’s perpetrator (whom liberals, of course, have attempted to make the victim) while the second of those pages is titled after a rampant behavioral malady plaguing modern African American culture (accessible from the branches of ASND’s Culture / Black Culture / Violence menu tree).

The thing I don’t understand is the Democrats’ belief that race riots or even the threat of race riots will help them in terms of the November election. Let’s say there are race riots or a significant increase in the number of wilding incidents or flash mob incidents in the run up to the election. Won’t that energize far more whites to vote for ABO than it will blacks to vote for him? I think it will. If you disagree please explain.

I think they are buying into the notion that many white voters will be intimidated from voting either at the polls or even absentee. I am not sure what generates that notion (as I surely don’t subscribe to it). I am with you, thinking that any fomented riots are going to appear as such & will backfire on those who are behind them.

leftist media, thanks so much for the hugely slanted case-building. for nearly two months we’ve been bombarded with pics of 10-year-old trayvon martin and an arrest booking photo of george zimmerman from 2005. people change. zimmerman matured into a law-abiding tax-paying citizen while martin at 17 had devolved into tattoos, grill teeth, hoodlum/gangsta hate-whitey posturing for bad-assed intimidation thug pics. four days ago we finally got to view some contemporary photos of george and trayvon–the disinformation campaign has been exposed.

i am not one to promote the use of the governments jack booted thugs. but i think the department of homeland security need to look into Mr.Frazier and anyone who agrees with him for terroristic threats against the country. And Mr. Frazier should then plead guilty to a lesser charge for the good of the country

I don’t mean to get too serious here, after all this whole article is just a light-hearted spoof, isn’t it? I once would have agreed with you. But I think my greatest lament is the loss of the Rule of Law in the US. The law was never perfect, but it has served well.

When we look at future-Justice Eric Holder, and F&F, NLRB, NBPP #1 in Philly, NBPP #2 in Sanford, FL, Gerald Walpin’s firing, theft from GM bond holders and on and on, we see the very underpinnings of US civil society, which is based unequivocally on equal protection under the rule of law, and which was arguably the greatest factor in allowing the US to grow and prosper more than all other nations, is under tremendous attack.

And besides, if I had had a son he might have as equally chanced to look like either Trayvon OR George. So which society do I want? The one where my son Trayvon is inarguably innocent? Or where my son George is inarguably guilty.

I have noted that no one in the supposedly balanced media has bothered to provide anyone with the the names of his Parents. Presumebly so he can be cast and sold as a racist whity.

A tutor of disadvantaged Black kids, and a volunteer for his Neighborhood Watch committe, he is what everyone would want as a Good Neighbor. He correctly called the Police when a suspect intruder was seen in the neighborhood. That is not he actions of a racist Vigilante.

I see that the racist portion of “La Raza” has labeled him as a “white Hispanic”, whatever that means. Presumebly that means he isn’t Hispanic. What politically correct BS from the organization that is supposed to represent me, and all Hispanics.

Mansfield Frazier; Justice takes on new meanings: Justice is for George Zimmerman to serve something short of a decade in prison; we need a strong firm hand on the wheel of the ship of state – not exactly Hitler, mind you – to fulfill the call of all reasonable people that one man should be sacrificed for the greater good of the society and culture. Individuals be damned. Justice is justice for all, not for a single specific case. I mean, what is Justice anyway, but to serve the greater good and order of a civil society? Not really Hitler but, oh say – a decent Pontius Pilate. It’s worked well in the past.

Suppose you have a carry permit and you carry concealed to a polling place? Who would know unless you actually pulled your weapon? Nobody so you have just kinda skirted the law now haven’t you!

I think of all places that the polling booth should be one of those places where you should be able to carry your weapon for defense of your own self, like the Black Panthers with their regalia and batons and stare you down looks are not offensive, what do you do for defense…you boldly walk in there whether armed your self or not and whilst voting call the police and have the vermin removed, if those that heed the call for violence against white or Asian or Hispanic voters they will find that of those other groups there are a great many that do not look for a fight but when confronted with one will fight back with a vengeance and with a population of about 13% might see that figure go down to about 7% in short order!

About race: When I worked in south Florida, I was highly amused to see the official race codes. As I recall they were:
White;
Black;
Hispanic, non-black;
Hispanic, black;
Asian/Pacific Islander;
Native American;
Other;
Unknown.

The counter-point to this in my mind has always been the Puerto Rican who mused on national television that the use of white, black and Hispanic made no sense in his country – he said, in effect, the quantitative racial mixtures of white, black and Hispanic were meaningless – he said that when asked his race, he replies, “I’m Puerto Rican”.

Similarly, phenotypical racial identity (rather than genetic) in Brazil has led to more than a hundred official “races”. And, for example, all four children of the same two parents can be of four different races – bringing the total number of races represented within the family of six… to six. I don’t know if this is still in effect, but that it once was says a lot.

Marion Barry: One quarter of the population of the earth is too dirty to serve food in my town. We need to get these dirty Asians out and bring in African-Americans, who are clean, willing to work sixteen-hour days for their children’s educations and cook wonderful carry-out.

To Hell with that, an if it precipitates a race war, then let it come…it is long overdue.

Bring it.

And then stand out of the way and let it run its long and bloody course…the older I get the more I am coming around to the realization that perhaps this is the only way to live with this chronic condition…a general “bleeding” of the body politic.

Mr. Mansfield didn’t listen too closely during the LA Riots, because a lot of the gunshots he heard were NOT being fired by Blacks and Mexicans riding around in convertibles and Jeeps.

George Zimmermanez should be judged on the facts and the law…nothing else.

It ends either when there is nothing left to burn or no-one left to set fire to it.

It seems that that’s the ONLY way that it ever ends.

I recall an audiotape from the LA riots, wherein some middle-aged White man was set upon and given a thorough drubbing by a gang of hoodlums while he was on an open microphone.

“But I’m a REPORTER! I’m a REPORTER! I’m a REPORTER!”

he bleated as they beat and kicked him.

I had to laugh at the conceit of this stupid fool, who thought that a roving gang of thugs would see him as anything other than some Honkie interloper, and that by uttering his “magic words”, all of his tormentors would immediately cease and desist their assault upon him…and then agree to some “rioter in the street” interviews where they would, undoubtedly, yammer their programming about “injustice”.

It would have been a preferable outcome had they beat that fool to death…and thereby instruct his media colleagues that they are not immune from the poison that they help to concoct for the rest of us.

I for one support Frazier’s proposal. Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the rights of the few. Sometimes sacrifices must be made in the name of harmony. Ask any married couple.

But Frazier makes one small mistake. He recommends that Zimmerman be sent to prison for up to 8 years, quietly.

The purpose of Zimmerman’s “conviction”, regardless of the evidence, is to give the black community the perception that justice is done for Trayvon Martin. That perception must be made community wide, and therefore, Zimmerman’s punishment must get the widest possible disemination. Slinking off quietly defeats the purpose of punishing Zimmerman.

Jail time for a murder is a pretty stiff penalty, but we are talking about a child. Trayvon Martin had his whole life ahead of him, the very embodiment of potential. And now,that is all gone.

Besides, after up to 8 years in a Florida state prison, Zimmerman’s life will be pretty much destroyed anyway, one could argue that prolonging his misery would border on cruelty.

Instead of a quiet and brief prison term, Frazier’s goal would be better served by not only convicting George Zimmerman, ending his life, publically.

Perhaps some high hill or platform can be erected, and Mr. Zimmerman can be led to it, and his heart ripped from his still beating chest can be presented to the “black Community”. To Al Sharpton and the clan of thugs at the New Black Panther party. Isn’t this really what Mr. Frazier is asking for?

How about a 15-minute trial before a Joint Session of Congress and a single-bullet execution on the floor of the House of Representatives; followed by a speech from President Obama in which he laments the loss of Trayvon Martin, blames the loss of civility in public discourse for his death (and smilingly cautions Justice Scalia about the risks of “heart attack”).

Zimmerman will be acquitted as in the fact that he was defending himself, just imagine the circumstances that most of us know so far, and one of them being that a young punk was slamming the back of your head into a sidewalk, that does not seem to me to be a circumstance for just getting up and saying “Oh well, it was a misunderstanding I didn’t know you were here temporarily, and just going to the store for SKITTLES and an ICED TEA you poor soul ( at 10:30p.m.) and then not going straight home then you noticed me watching you and decided to attack me…no that couldn’t be the case, no instead this young brotha decided to attack an armed man, whether he knew so or not and when he started trying his best to kill the MURDERER (according to those not so enlightened) George Zimmerman the intended victim of 17 tear old suspended from school for punching a bus driver used deadly force to stop this PUNK and all will not necessarily end well but nevertheless <B?JUSTICE WAS SERVED on that very night and the cops knew it as well as others, but then the Lame Stream Media is all too quick to stir the pot of confusion and racial strife…why do they not report the race of suspects in crimes, oh no that would be because most of them are committed by “African-Americans” or blacks who pays any attention to this crap anymore?

As I posted before there are many more of the other now minorities than of them, if they wish a war what do you think will happen, it ain’t gonna be pretty for them at all and will reduce their population to an extreme minority and the same for Muslims that try the same, they will be met with resistance that is powerful and potentially deadly!

Justifiable homicide is the defense in this case and that is true justice anything else is wrong as far as I am concerned, as an intentional HOMICIDE VICTIM, I can say that I carry at all times and will defend myself and do not go to bars or places where I should not be, but I will say this I am well prepared for just about anything…I do not need for you whilst pounding the back of my head into a sidewalk or pavement and saying “I’m gonna kill you” to even think about pulling the only means of defense I have and if it is my gun that I legally carry then so be it, it is better you are of me then the other way around, if I happen to kill you in the process then that is your own choice!

Perhaps, what this nation does need is a mechanism whereby black anger, though it admittedly may be partly spread by news TV, can be measured, and acted upon.

My plan.

From this day forward, recognized pollsters like Gallup will take the pulse of the black community to determine the desired outcome of high profile criminal court cases involving white on black crime. (We don’t need a plan to deal with the reverse because whites don’t generally riot.)

In the Trayvon Martin case, in dollars and cents terms, a fixed guilty penalty for Mr. Zimmerman will likely save millions in money and countless in lives. Not to mention millions in property damage. Black anger thus will be assuaged.

Isn’t this what President Obama implied when he took a father’s point of view when talking about the killing of Trayvon Martin? Don’t you think the President would go along with this plan?

It surely makes sense to me.

Of course, should Zimmerman be found guilty for these reasons, and should there be riots regardless, then it must be agreed that the police force and National Guard must go in to eliminate (using deadly force) all black participants; from ransackers, to plunderers, to looters, to arsonists to those who assault and, of course, to those who kill.

It also goes without saying that NBC and MSNBC will be shut down for inciting riots; their on camera people, regardless of color, will summarily be executed without redress, or access to any legal remedies.

Furthermore, whites who can prove they helped stop any such riots, naturally, will be compensated for their time and ammunition expended. And be given lifelong federal and civil immunity from prosecution should at any time in the future they feel it necessary to eliminate blacks who appear to be on the verge of previously explained and expounded upon behavior.

Again, taking this whole conversation as serious. If I were Zimmerman, I would accept, in this day when a million dollars isn’t what it used to be, and when the government can throw a half a billion at a losing political cause like Solyndra, only 500 million dollars to leave the country with all his significant, or knowable, family. 20 million can buy a reasonably nice island anywhere in the world. And the other 180 million could compensate for loss of future earnings, the abdication of the rule of law in his case, and the infringement of his basic human rights. The other 300 million would go to the establishment of the lives and livelihoods of his extended, and threatened, family members.

In exchange for a guilty verdict, expulsion of him and his extended family from the United States and a half a billion dollars, the US and prevents tens or even hundreds of billions in rioting, looting losses and law enforcement costs; pacifies an angry electorate, preserves the prevailing culture, extends the appearance of the rule of law, and reestablishes the legitimacy fo the existing government.

The press would castigate him as only they can castigate an ex-pat under a cloud. And Zimmerman can nurse his wounds with a Margarita under an undisclosed palm tree somewhere in the world. Like poor — and I do feel sympathy for the 22-year-old fellatrix — Monica Lewinski, who can’t get a good job or a husband as a result of her following the directions of the then Most Powerful Man in the World, Zimmerman’s life is just about as ruined as hers, or as Richard Jewell’s.

Give him his money, strip him of citizenship, deport him as an undesirable, convict him in absentia, sentence him to censure and time served, and pay $100 in aggrievement fees and reparations to anyone who swears that they have emotionally suffered under these terrible circumstances — that would be another $500 million or so — and get on to rigging the fall elections, from which this is all an unseemly distraction.

I am I guess mostly white or Native American I have the blood of both, my ancestors came to the United States before it was the United States in the 1720′s after the King of France first started printing money thanks to John Law a Scottish man who convinced the king that he would run the bank for him and make him even richer~

The father if inflation was John Law who took all the proceeds from the peasants or peons like us and offer a fiat currency (paper money with nothing backing it up but hot air)!

What do we have now? The same damned thing only it is now electronic and hyperinflation is just around the corner, load u[ on metals, mostly lead and copper!

Blacks are only a small percentage of our populace. How can such a small group of people make such a HUGE impact on the larger group? Something in the milk ain’t clean.

White people are just as much a cause for all of this crap as blacks.

I’m especially tired of stupid and/or evil white people who convinced black people that they were ‘owed’ something by ‘whitey’ and instead of making something of their lives, they were torn asunder, their marriages, their children, their future was wrought with ‘getting over on da man’ rather than lifting oneself up by the bootstraps and becoming a productive and proud part of the humanitarian project known as Western Civilization.

The Lefties are destroying the white people too with their Commie, Anti-male, anti-father indoctrination.

I fear for this country, not because of the few black folks we have, but, because of the rampant Loony/Commie white trash bastids we have here.

Delia Blacks are approx 13% of the US population Black Males about 6% and Black Male Youths 15 to 25 just 1 or 2%. Yet it is this miniscule minority who commit 52% of all the murders and over 60% of all the violent crime in the USA. So can a small number of people make a huge difference you bet your life they can. Don’t forget too that thanks to Left Wing moonbat Political Correctness and Racist Affirmative Action you can’t profile them and if you speak the TRUTH about them you are branded as a RACIST.

“Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not” Caiaphas 33AD [KJV: John 11:50]

.

As they say in poker this is a ‘tell’. Mr. Mansfield Frazier is cluing us into the dark genius of Rev. Sharpton’s actual demand. Rev. Sharpton packages his demand in the motif of the historic Civil Rights Movement. The demand is channeled by racialism. But fundamentally his demand has little to do with either civil rights or racialism. Where a community’s internalfrustration, malice, anger and resentments is in need of an escape valve, a safe outlet, that community needs a victim from whom no one really anticipates retaliation. A victim who is a marginal insider, a ‘White” (in this case) who is also an American. Marginal enough to be safely separated from the community and thus not to threaten but sufficiently close to the community so the victim’s expulsion or death will pack emotional satisfaction. Nietzsche understood, as did Caiaphas, innocent or guilty sometimes the accused must die so the nation might live.

I just found that blog yesterday, and seriously it’s required reading. Not to take anything at away from this place, because it is only due to the sheer tenacity of so many individual bloggers is the truth coming out. wow, just wow. People who describe Al Sharpton as a “race baiter” were actually UNDER-ESTIMATING his vileness.

Seconded on the website. It is compelling. They have of late been exposing the Ryan Julison PR connection, taking it apart so thoroughly Mr. Julison himself checked in to respond, only to have his hat handed to him.

Black people will riot if there is no judicial lynching of Zimmerman? Fine. Who cares? All they do is foul their own nests anyway and then they bitch about having to ride a bus across town to get a piece of fresh fruit like it is somebody elses’ fault they burnt down the Safeway.

What this Daily Beast columnist knows is that Zimmerman will be acquited or have a hung jury. What he is afraid of is that Sharpton and Black Panthers will incite riots and the whole of America will have a ring-side view. His real fear is that the ultimate billion-dollar loser would be Obama himself.

Obama and Holder rapidly inserted themselves into an incident of which they had no accurate information. (That’s the peril of getting your “news” from NBC, ABC, CNN and the like. Even Obama fell for it). A Zimmerman acquital will make these two Black stalwarts of the Administration look extremely stupid and, worse, conniving. That’s what they are afraid of. Having unleashed the Black thugs, they are in a panic because they can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. And they want Zimmerman to give them a “get-out-of-jail-free pass” by going to jail himself.

Not so fast. Within days of the incident, ABC posted a lossed (compressed) video of the original which purported to show no injuries to Zimmerman’s head. As it has become clear that at the trial, the original police photographs would be put forward by defence as evidence, the ABC honchos got cold feet and rushed to post the true images. (Another error in the production process, a la, NBC’s. Right?)

I take your point, BUT, I also heard on ABC early on about the story of Trayvon being on top of Zimmerman on the ground. It’s not clear to me what NBC (not MSNBC) did or did not report, but ABC has been reporting things that folks here say that the MSM does not report. It’s beyond (or below) my pay grade, but I would be very curious to see a night-by-night record of the alphabets and FOX; what they were reporting, what they were omitting. Fair enough?

You seem to miss the point. The last thing Obama wanted was for this case to go to court. He would have much preferred that a ‘beer summit’ would help him explain hat he meant by the ‘stupid cops’ comment.

This is way-out different. Obama is on record that if he and Michelle had a son son, he would look like Trayvon Martin. There are tens of thousands of Black sons who don’t look like Trayvon, not his face or their middle-collar aspirations. Obama lumped all into one one Black mass, all of whose sons would look like him.

“And that is why Emmet Till had to die…” Oh, wait – you mean we are supposed to care about some fancy, myth-based concept of JUSTICE? and that would make the killing of Emmett Till Murder (Mississippi 1950′s) – not just “understandable” given that he was picked up from his uncle’s – driven to a different location and savagely beaten with malice aforethought…

Well, a murder conviction would have riled up the white folks back then – so that is why we never heard about the Emmitt Till case ever again….Oh, wait….

The case of Emmet Till is one the black community hugs close to its breast and drags out like a piece of the true cross in exactly the same way they have inflated the Trayvon Martin case; one tragedy is America. Hardly a week goes by in the black press where Till is not mentioned because to them, it is still entirely relevant.

454 whites were killed by blacks in America in 2009 according to the FBI. That means every 10 years as many whites are killed as all lynchings, black and white, from 1882 to 1968 as tracked by the Tuskegee Institute.

This is context, this is proportion; a thing the Left either despises or is simply ignorant of. It conflicts with their world view of innocence and morality dispensed by skin. Why use reality when one has a piece of the true cross, and white Hispanics dressed like ninjas on a mission, along with the hunter-killer squad of assassins that comprises white America, to kill blacks because of their enormous disdain for them?

It’s obvious the prosecutor was thinking about avoiding riots (and it’s an election year . . . ) – why else such charges? what she should be thinking about is Mike Nifong. She’s already done a nifong in filing, she should be looking very hard how to avoid nifong’s fate for malpractice

thugs riot – it’s a given. all she has done is thrown more combustables on the fire. When zimmerman is acquitted – it will burst into flames much larger and more destructive than if she’d said there were no grounds for charges.

We know who commits the majority of violent crime in this country, so if we’re into imprisoning the innocent for the common good, let’s start with all black males between 16 and 40. I am not being serious, but Mr Frazier is.

Something tells me thoughtless “writer” Mansfield Frazier might feel a bit differently if he were in George Zimmerman’s shoes.

We are entering into the full-throws of liberal/leftist ideology … ‘Rule/Govern’ the masses on feelings first and foremost. Play to their fears, lusts, hates, and laziness of intellect.

Their fear will allow them to surrender their own personal and private control(s) in order to ‘protect’ themselves and their own property. And when structure of reasoning and rational thought falls completely apart, move in and wield the ice cold sword of power over them.

The NYTimes has a piece right now on how Obama is planning on more and more ‘executive power’ and bypassing of Congress. This should get very interesting…

Blackstone’s formulation “better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer” has run its course in American justice so now we return to Bismark’s “is better that ten innocent men suffer than one guilty man escape”.

Mr. Frazier refers to a Time column by Toure. I am not sure that Mr. Frazier accurately conveyed Toure’s message in that column, but that column link to another Toure column which said that “justice” [in the Martin/Zimmerman context] means merely means a day in court.”

I think Mr. Frazier has a rather different concept of justice. Some might conclude that Mr. Frazier was actually seeking justice nullification.

But given the left’s preference for result-oriented jurisprudence — evident in the fight over the Bork nomination to the Supreme Court — it seems to me that the left would leave the Statue of Justice in front of the courthouse, provided, however, that the blindfold was removed, and the scales held by Justice were no longer evenly-balanced, but titled toward the left.

I hope that Mr. Owens will do an article on the extremely frightening fact that the Department of Homeland Security whose stated purpose is to thwart “homegrown terrorism,” has awarded a contract to ammunition manufacturer ATK for acquiring 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow point ammo. “Hollow point” ammunition is NEVER purchased for training. It is strictly for fighting.

It is a violation of the Geneva Convention to use hollow point ammunition on the battle field. Homeland Security will not be using this on other countries, but clearly plan to use 450 million rounds in America (on Americans?). Why this massive number of 450 million rounds when the overwhelming number of Americans are extremely patriotic? The hollow point ammunition is so dreadful, it is banned on the battle field. It has been suggested that this is (part of the preparations) to make WAR on Americans.

Actually the contract was to purchase up to 450 million rounds over the next ten years. The 450 million is the top number under the open end contract.

All police agencies pretty much carry hollow points now, only reason they are not allowed on the battlefield is due to the Hague Convention of 1899. Most of the civilian defense ammo is also hollow points, and it is even recommended by most concealed carry experts to try to carry the same ammo as your local law enforcement for legal reasons (basically cannot be said at trial that you are using unreasonable force because you carried some “super” ammo). There are a few states that ban them, but they are the typical nanny no-gun states anyways.

I would also disagree with the comment of not training with hollow points. you should always train at least part time with your duty round, not just standard FMJ target rounds. I for example use Speer Gold Dot (which my local sheriff uses) and Hornady Critical Defense hollow points as my CCW rounds and always shoot at least a box of each once a month on top of normal target practice to remain proficient.

American leaders don’t regard Muslim terrorists as the enemy. The U.S. government ALLOWS many Muslim terrorist training camps to operate in our country. Muslim Brotherhood groups such as CAIR, are welcomed by our government into the halls of power.

Who does the government regard as the enemy?

In 2009, Homeland Security declared the people to watch out for were veterans returning from the wars, pro-lifers and Tea Party attendees. In 2011, Homeland Security put out a video portraying WHITE PEOPLE as the most likely terrorists.

Google: Concentration camps in America

There are many. They are NOT intended for Muslim terrorists. People in Germany thought the murder of millions of innocents could never happen there. But it did.

Regarding the purchase of 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow point ammo by Homeland Security and other frightening, freedom-destroying acts, such as the act Obama recently signed into law, whereby Americans can be arrested and held INDEFINITELY without trial, it appears that, as white Americans, our lives are no longer safe in the nation which was once the Land of the Free.

A growing digital lynch mob of Twitter users is calling for street justice against George Zimmerman and advocating he be murdered since his release from jail on $150,000 bail early this morning. Some have even threatened to kill the neighborhood watch volunteer themselves.

This is what our country has descended to, thanks to the despicable racist supremacists who wickedly create HATE against white people, and our shameful mainstream media who viciously condemn and judge a white man guilty because he acted in self defense against a black attacker. What is the message? If you are white and defend yourself from a black attacker, this will be your fate, thousands of death threats? Have white people lost the right to self defense?

The hysteria and racial hatred is so intense, that if Zimmerman is found innocent, having acted in self-defense; in order to save Zimmerman from being murdered, he and his entire family will have to be sent to live permanently in another country for their safety.

Pretty disgusting for a collumnist to demand that a possibly innocent man plead guilty because of a fear of race riots. Another thing I see coming. Even if Zimmerman is acquited in a trial, the holder justice dept will demand a second bite at the apple and bring him up on civil rights charges.

This whole case is disgusting. Zimmerman should never have been charged with 2nd degree murder in the first place, the most this case ever justified was manslaughter. The lynching atmosphere, and political bias in this case is disgusting. To their credit, martins family have behaved pretty well, and while they have demanded zimmerman be charged and tried, they have generally stayed away from the race baiting lynchers, except for an unwise association with Al Sharpton.

One thing all hispanics should consider, zimmerman is one of your own. You should realize that in any battle between the black race baiters and rioters and hispanics, hispanics will lose. I suggest you consider that when voting for dems, just as jews should consider how dems and obama treat israel and favor the muslim hate groups. And also consider that currently it is those supposedly racist conservatives that are on the side of rule of law and justice in both these cases.

The panic in the Obama camp is palpable. Aside from the bad economy, bad smearing of Romney, bad foreign policy, here is something which is another bad. A bad ‘bad’. Having lost the independents, the working whites, mothers who raise kids, they are in mortal danger of losing the Hispanics as well. Call Zimmerman a ‘white’ hispanic all you want, his mother is Peruvian, his children are hispanic, he has mentored black kids. If you lynch him, the blowback will be brutal.

Here is a political sidelight on this issue: The president could have acted presidential and sought to calm the waters. Instead he has played the race card, a card that he keeps playing to his political detriment. The whole point in 2008 was that he wasn’t another angry black man. Now he is, and he may be confronted by race riots. No matter how the MSM tries to play it, race riots are not good for black candidates. It astounds me how stupid his political team is. He is not running for mayor of Detroit, he is running for president of a country with an electorate that is 80% white. We already saw this movie in 1968.

Well WOULD ALL THIS BE HAPPENING IF Travon was WHITE ???
Mr Burton I REALLY ENJOYED reading your comments !!! I AM SICK TO DEATH OF RACIST!!!
It should be WE THE AMERICANS !!! OUR COUNTRY we are trying to save!!! When all these FOOLS wake up one day and see we have done turned into a communist country … Then it’s gonna be too late! Like China said we have to get it in SMALL doses !!! SOME PEOPLE are fools!! It’s ashame most of the time innocent people have to SUFFER because of IDIOTS !!! That’s where we are headed too but it’s gonna be too late …..

In my opinion it certainly wouldn’t have happened if Martin had been white since the whole thing was almost immediately orchestrated by the NAACP’s legal artifact, and I DO mean artifact.

Two English tourist’s were gunned down in Florida last year in an insane gang assassination to the sound crickets make. Certainly the difference in that case is that the perpetrator was apprehended and is being punished.

But, since the liberal Left chose to make the Martin case about white’s profiling and preying on blacks rather than the notion of a simple arrest being enough, then the case of the Englishmen makes for a stark contrast. In fact the contrast rises to the level of Orwell’s doublethink since, in crime terms, the Martin case is atypical and the case of the English tourists, typical. Yet the response from the Left is as if exactly the opposite is the case.

The liberal Left and particularly the black community has Tonkin-ized every move a white person has made from 1600 to 2012 until America’s history is unrecognizable and such entities as the GOP and Tea Party racist, smirking morons giving each other secret handshakes while holding KKK hoods behind their backs.

The day Obama was elected precisely because he was black and gave a nice prepared speech, this day of division and war was set in motion. From that day forward the double standards in behavior were not only excused as they have been for at least two generations, but used as ammunition for utter lawlessness and duplicity. It will not be accepted by liberals that Obama has failed and failed miserably. They will refuse to their death to admit the obvious EPIC fail, and that they themselves are racist.

Assuming this verdict goes as I think it will, as the suggestion this was 2nd degree murder ludicrous as the facts suggest at this minute, there will be riots, and their will be death, and the media and the race hustlers will walk away unscathed to live another day, await another opportunity to create strife if history repeats itself. And whites will be targeted for destruction specifically for being white and not acquiescing to black racist appeasement.

I don’t mean to minimize the pain of the parents who lost a son as they are being used by the media and the pimps to win an election, and this is ultimately what Trayvon Martin is about, but isn’t it time that whites who will be blamed for every ill, every fault, every verdict learn from recent history and act as the brave Korean grocers in L.A. 20 years ago?

The further the bad behavior accepted, the more power these vicious perpetrators of division gain.

Such a shame. There are plenty of people who would have made great “first black presidents”. Instead we have these racist bigots who just want to return blacks to the civil rights chaos of the 60′s. Its too bad that more blacks can’t see though him — he’s hurting them.

Of course………….everything said in this article is obvious to anyone with a hint of logical intelligence.

But….alas………the average black American has ( will riot to standard tests ) a lower than average intelligence, and a lower than average education……..easily led into a mob frenzy by their leaders and their sycophants.

Based on what has been said in the media, Zimmerman will be acquitted.

And the mob will riot. And the police….cowards that they really are…will stand by and watch.

The mob will die at the hands of the average armed citizen protecting his property…..Just wait and see

I for one don’t see a difference between what this man is saying and the KKK’s claim that Blacks are violent and stupid, apart from him adding in the end, “so we should corrupt the justice system to appease them”. A bit like radical feminists who talk about how logic and mathematics are “tools of male opression”, which, in other words, agrees with the 19th-century view that women are illogical and emotional and shouldn’t worry their pretty little heads about things like science or mathematics.

If this degenerates into riots, a la Rodney King, Jackson and Sharpton are directly to blame for instigating them. If they wanted to insist on an investigation, that’s fine, but “leaders” would tell people to wait and get the facts before making any sort of judgments. They would certainly speak out AGAINST violence.

And BTW, where are Sharpton and Jackson in the case of the 17-year old Kansas City youth (black) who lit a 13-year old boy (white) on fire while exclaiming, “you got what you deserved white boy”. That boy has been charged only with 1st degree assault — isn’t this more like attempted murder? That boys life is ruined by the burns on his face and upper body. It appears, like Holder, they only care about white (and in Zimmerman’s case that epitaph had to be hypenated) on black crime but couldn’t care less about the reverse.

Why is is that they don’t care about the violence coming out of the black population? Do they really think that this type of behavior is acceptable because their such “victims”? Why don’t they encourage them to be successful like Sharpton and Jackson are? Oh, their success is based on race baiting and victimization of their “people” (as Holder likes to say). If they really cared, they’d be encouraging blacks to make something of themselves.

If George Zimmerman is found not guilty resulting in race riots I do believe the black community will be surprised when white America doesn’t just lay down this time. Additionally Obama’s contribution to the growing racial discord and Holder’s lack of action will contribute heavily to the already growing dissatisfaction to his presidency. Obama has not definitively accomplished one item he campaigned on but has blamed the former administration for all his failed initiatives. The black community’s dependence on government subsidies has grown expotentially and their ability to compete has declined at a similar rate. Even those that become multi-millionaire professional athletes are failures as a growing number of them file for bankrupcy with nothing to show for their time in college, most haven’t even graduated. You don’t see Jackson, Sharpton, Holder ever address these issues they only stoke the fires of hate and miscontent.
